The Failed Instigator

Vivian —no, she had no reason to set a trap for her own people, but he was indeed the Instigator —the wild one—

Impossible. His disguise clearly indicates he knew his plan and used it to lure these nobles into becoming Beyonder Assassin pathway.

The discussion was forced to end as night approached dusk.

Grellint, as the host, took the initiative to leave the Reception Hall temporarily and instructed the kitchen to prepare dinner for everyone.

Those who were interested in learning more formed a small group with the Instigator and engaged in private conversations.

After pulling Altair to a secluded spot, Audrey asked softly, "Sister Altair, are you really unaware of the Psychology Alchemists?"

"I don't know." Altair shook his head after hearing this and advised, "I suggest you wait two more years before becoming Beyonder."

"As you just heard him explain, once you become Beyonder, you must constantly guard against Mental Pollution."

"This is not a good thing for a little girl like you who is only 15 years old."

After having dinner together, everyone said their goodbyes and left the Grellint's house.

When Grellint returned to the living room, Altair saw him take out a gift box, hand it to the Instigator, and say with a smile, "Thank you so much for your help today. I've prepared the materials you needed; they're all in here."

As they talked, Grellint, fearing he might be uneasy, opened the gift box and let the Instigator take a look.

After confirming the materials, Grellint closed the gift box again, took out 30 ten-pound notes from his pocket, and added, "These are some small gifts that everyone prepared for you; please accept them as well."

After seeing the Instigator accept the item, Grylls added, "I'll need your help a lot in the future. When you attend other gatherings, please keep an eye out for Potion Recipe from the Apothecary Pathway."

After carefully collecting the materials and gifts, the Instigator nodded to Grellint, but said with some difficulty, "I'll try my best. After all, as I just explained, this Pathway is extremely special, and it's very difficult for Loen to obtain it."

After speaking, the Instigator bid farewell to everyone and left the manor through a side door.

Grellint smiled and watched the man leave before turning to Altair and Audrey, casually asking, "Have you decided what Pathway you want to take to become Beyonder?"

"I like being in the Spectator Spectator," Audrey replied with a smile.

After listening to Audrey's words, Grellint turned her gaze to Altair.

But Altair simply shook his head, saying with a rather helpless tone, "It's still unclear."

"Well, there's no need to rush. After all, the most suitable one is the best," Grellint advised, worried that Altair might make a bad choice.

"And this Beyonder man, I always had a feeling he didn't have any goodwill towards us," Grellint said casually, stroking his chin.

After saying that, he explained to the two of them, "Logically speaking, when people make recommendations, they tend to choose what they are most familiar with and understand best."

"He calls himself Mystery Pryer," so when making recommendations, one should lean more towards recommending the Mystery Pryer Pathway."

"But this person doesn't recommend it... well... not exactly doesn't recommend it, but it feels like he's deliberately guiding us to choose another Pathway, the Hunter and the Assassin."

"If I'm not mistaken, he definitely has ulterior motives."

So for now, I'm prepared to wait and see for a while.

"Altair, I still don't know the source of your news about this gathering of Beyonder?"

"The party itself shouldn't be a big problem," Altair casually remarked. "I stumbled upon this news of the Extraordinary Gathering while sorting through my father's belongings a while ago."

"After receiving this news, I had one of the family's guards participate in a search, but he didn't find anything unusual."

"However, I've also sensed what you're talking about, so I'm planning to wait and see for now."

After Altair managed to smooth things over, he asked, "What about your friends? They're not stupid; they must have chatted with you already."

"Some people want to try, but there aren't many," Grellint said nonchalantly.

"Aren't you afraid those noble families will come after you?" Altair joked.

"That was their own choice." After saying that Grellint smiled again, "I simply asked an Beyonder to answer our questions."

"They didn't organize any rushed gatherings or provide any transaction channels. And they assured me they wouldn't hold me responsible if anything went wrong."

"You should still be careful," Altair said, then looked at Audrey and asked, "I'm leaving. When are you planning to leave?"

"I'll be leaving right away," Audrey replied with a smile.

After answering Altair's question, Audrey turned to Grellint and said, "Then I'll be going now. See you later."

"See you later"

When Altair got home, he took off his coat at the door and went into the hall, where he saw Vivian.

She was sitting on the sofa, reading a book, when she heard the noise at the door. Looking up, she saw Altair return and stood up, smiling slightly.

How was your day?

Altair shook his head expressionlessly, then casually asked, "Not bad, darling. Do you remember who you told about the party location?"

Upon seeing Altair's expression and hearing his question, Vivian frowned and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Did something happen? Did you miss the joke today?"

"No, not at all." After saying that, Altair walked to the sofa and sat down.

Vivian sat down on Altair's lap and asked doubtfully, "Then why are you so depressed when you come back today? Isn't this method good?"

After sniffing Vivian's hair, Altair explained, "Sure, having fun can certainly help enhance the performance of Pleasure."

"But you probably don't know the true identity of this ' Mystery Pryer '."

"He must be an Instigator."

"While explaining extraordinary knowledge to Grellint and the others, he used his persuasive abilities to try and seduce the nobles into choosing the paths of Hunter and Assassin pathway."

"But he used his abilities poorly, and most people saw through his intentions, so I'm very curious about his identity."
